Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle 2007

The final day of the Cheltenham Festival gets underway with the grade one Triumph Hurdle. The race normally attracts a large field and the two mile one furlong race often resembles little more than a cavalry charge. As a novice event many inexperienced horses are likely to participate and those not used to running in large fields are probably best left well alone. It is difficult to provide a Cheltenham Tip in this race as it can be a bit of a lottery and one needs a lot of luck in running.

Triumph Hurdle 2008 Results

The Triumph Hurdle favourite Franchoek was well backed in the ring prior to the start and went off the shortest priced favourite of the week so far. Beau Michael too it up early with Celestial Halo taking them out into the country followed by Franchoek with a bunching pack. Celestial Halo led up the hill with Franchoek right on his tail and they went head to head all the way to the last where Celestial Halo asserted and Franchoek could not peg him back.

Triumph Hurdle 2007 Results

They as usual set off at a furious pace with Degas Art taking them along from Mountain ridden by the luckless Tony McCoy at this year's festival. The principles all made sure they were up with the pace, with Mountain tracking the leader and Lounaos right there. Punjabi took it up coming down the hill but Katchit loomed up to take it up coming into the straight and sped clear from Liberate and Mobaasher. Another victory for the Alan King team who has now saddled three winners at this year's festival.

1. Katchit (Robert Thornton)11-2
2. Liberate (Richard Johnson)12-1
3. Mobaasher (Noel Fehily) 33-1

This is always a great race to kick off the final day of the Cheltenham Festival. The Hobbs duo had it sown up between them from the top of the hill with Fair along taking them along at a really fast pace and went he faded before the last it was his stable companion Detroit City who took it up and went on to win well. This maybe a future Champion Hurdle in the making.

1. Detroit City (R Johnson) 7-2f
2. Fair Along (PJ Brennan) 25-1
3. Blazing Bailey (R Thornton) 14-1

Triumph Hurdle 2005 Results

The three flat recruits all came to the fore with the prevailing good ground to assist their superior turn of foot. Faasel well backed on the day just could not get his head in front as Penzance showed great resilience to get home and take this coveted prize.

1st Penzance (R Thornton) 9-1
2nd Faasel (A Dobbin) 7-1
3rd Akilak (G Lee) 7-2f 7-2f

Triumph Hurdle 2004 Results

The first year in which the safety limit was reduced, but a nasty incident still in the early stages when Wild Passion, who looked among the nicest in the field, fell and brought down Tarque and Major Speculation.

Made In Japan had his ground and travelled well. He was going conspicuously easily starting down the hill, and after challenging going to the last, where he was inclined to wander a little, he proved the strongest in a driving finish. Chief Yeoman has looked a much better horse since switched to hurdles and had been running well without capturing the imagination. Top Strategy looked relatively exposed but did best of the Irish challengers and ran a blinder, making headway to travel well on the heels of the winner at the top of the hill and seeing the finish out well.

Triumph Hurdle 2003 Results

Barry Geraghty took a step closer landing the 2003 Cheltenham leading jockey title with his fourth success of the meeting on Spectroscope. In a tightly run race the 20/1 shot Spectroscope fought off several late challenges and crossed the line only a short head before Well Chief. Coming to Cheltenham with winning form had elevated Well Chief into a strong position within the betting market and despite a fine performance the ground was slightly against his liking. The third place was taken by the 11/2 favourite Golden Cross who despite a slow start was the strongest finishing horse in the final furlong and with slightly softer ground would have been a great deal nearer to the winner.
